Let 's do some details!Seating: Our host had us at a table within minutes. We asked for a slightly different arrangement, and he obliged. Thanks!Section: We were a 6 top. The table beside was a 9 top. A family of 5 was behind us. A single and a double rounded out the room... all for one server! 20+ patrons with 10+ kids. (Shout out to Mason!)Selection: What a fun and varied menu! Something for everyone. Everything from fish and chips to Teriyaki chicken bowl was on the table.Service: Timely delivery of lukewarm food. Not a deal breaker; we know what we 're getting in to at Friendly 's. French fries though... they MUST be hot and crispy, or you should just throw them away. Our fries would have been better served to the dumpster.Lobster bisque. ? I shouldn 't have gotten seafood there. That one is my fault. I know better. It was runny and unflavored. No real lobster to speak of. I was curious so you don 't have to be!For the most part, the food was good and the servings were hefty.The finale was ice cream. That, in fact, was the real reason we went there. They 've added malted vanilla milkshakes. Winner! The sundaes and scoops were portioned and made well.TL;DR Go for the ice cream and shakes, not the seafood or fries. Sit in Mason 's section. She rocks.

The waitress made a rather rude comment directed at my husband and me, and I was taken aback. We attempted to brush it off with humor, but it was definitely surprising. Additionally, the woman at the cash register seemed preoccupied with something else and didn’t pay much attention to processing our payment. Overall, it wasn’t the worst experience, but it certainly left a lot to be desired.

They loved the kids food choices, loved the kids ice cream choices, loved the headbands, and loved the experience. The staff was super patient and friendly and all the food and ice cream was so delicious ?
